UUuORJ OF BILL POSTING.
what ''Times" Reporter Read on One of
His Ramble-.

His Handles.
In his rounds yesterday DAILY
TINES reporter saw handbill on which
was inscribed, "A Sure Cure for Cholera
Under this were the words, "GO on Res
cue Councils Tenth Annual Excursion y
A close examination developed the fact
that the excursion notice mad been pasted
over the handbill containing tie cholera
cure.
The reporter thought the remedy sug.
gested rather a peculiar one. although 1t
is not doubted but what the excursion
will be very pleasant one.
Sometime since handbills were posted
advising everybody "to take DR.. Cureall ;
great liver bitters and pills Imme
diately under this another bill-pOsier
placarded lecture to be delivered by a
well-known divine, Prepare to meet
your Maker" The connection between
the medicine and the advice Of the
lecturer was very suggestive.
On lower Main street few days ago
could be seen a notice, "ShOes for old men
and women, only $1,000" In this in
stance the price Of the shoes had become
doyetailed into a real estate notice OF a
house and lot worth the latter figure.
Another one read, Horses and mules
just received only twenty. five cents
each" The horse and mule notice was
mixed up with cheap excursion dodger
One Of the worst yet tackled was the
handbils which ST ted that "the high st
price would be paid for old junk, at the
- street lawn party another mix
ture OF widely different subjects.
Many others equally as inappropriate
might be found in days journey, and
some Of them will he alluded to in a fu-
ture issue.

J. c. G. KENNEDY.
SKETCH or THE .HiN VINO was MUIR
DERED ~ WASHING TON.

Prominent Figure In Washington for
over Forty Years The Murder AN I'm
provoked and Cold BIooded One-The
Coroner's Inquest.
Below will be found a sketch OF Mr.
Joseph C.. G. Kennedy, who was mur-
dered In Washington Wednesday even
ing by John DAILY, an Irish crank and
desperate.
Mr.. Kennedy was born In Meadville,
Pa, in 1913 His grandfather was Samuel
Kennedy of revolutionary fame He was
educated at the Allegheny College and
studied law under several distinguished
iurists He at one time edited a country
newspaper in Pennsylvania, and at the
same time devoted considerable attention
to agriculture. In ls49 he was invited to
come to Washington city to accept the
secretaryship of the Census Board. Ii
was he who drafted the bill which pro-
yided for the establishment OF the Cen
sus Bureau, To the head of which he
was soon appointed In 1851 he yis-
tied Europe on special business for
this Government in connection with
cheap postage and other postal matters.
In 1862 he wa, appointed a Commissioner
to the London international Exhibition.
The official publications which lac has di-
rected and his writings for the press on
statistics, historical, and other subjects,
were always interesting and widely cir
cuated As a man Of culture and refine
dEement, he has been prominent figure
in Washington society for nearly forty
years, and the hcnOrs he received from
the learned men and societies Of Europe,
as well as those of his own country, were
numerous and deserved. He leaves
wife and hIee children. one of his
daughters is the wife Of General Bidwell
of California, and she is now on the Pa
cihc Coast. The second daughter is here
with her mother and brother, Colonel j.
VI. Kennedy.
Mr. Kennedy was strongly opposed to
the restrictive legislation of California
and the General Government touching
Chinese immigration, aud was at one
time counsel for the Six Companies of
San Francisco. He had also represented
the interests OF the Mormons in the ca
pacity Of an attorney.
MIR. KENNEDY's FUNERAL
Mrs. Kennedy was much better this af-
ternoon. She had been told of her hus
bands death, and while greatly shocked
at the occurrence, was inclined to take il
philosOphically. The funeral of the
murdered man will take place on Satur-
day afternoon at o'clock. Beyond this
nothing definite in regard to il has been
arranged. 1t Is probable, however, that
the interment will be at Oak I'LL ceme-
terry and in that case services will be
held in the chapel there.
THE JURY's VERDICT.
The yeidi of the jury was that " the
said Joseph c. G. Kennedy came to his
death about o'clock pm, July l3, 1887,
at the corner of New York ayenne and
Fifteenth street, Washington, d. c., from
a wound Of the abdomen, inflicted with
